I have discovered what may be My Instrument. The Hang. And i want to thank Tommy from Ageness for introducing me to this instrument by sending me a Youtube video of Manu Delago playing the instrument. What a treat!

The Hang looks very much like a wok pan. It works — and sounds — pretty much like a steel drum, except that you play it with your hands. You (usually) hold the Hang in your lap and you tap it to make some sweet noise. The Hang is tuned in a zig-zag fashion, so to play the scale, you tap back and forth all over the wok, sorry, the Hang cover.

The Hang was developed, and is built, by two Swiss, uh, Hangmen (except that the other hangman is a hangwoman) and to obtain one of these illustrious instruments, you will need to send the artists a letter stating that you want to buy one, and why you want to do so. I am hesitant but wistful.
